“I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers†~ Ephesians 1:16 (ESV)
Normally I share my list of thanks with you, but today I want do it a little different. Since my work schedule is very demanding at this time, I don’t have much time to just post how I feel about my readers. As I was driving to work this morning I though “Why not use my thankful post?â€â€¦So today, instead of my usual list…
First of all I want to thank Jamie, Darlene, Laurel, Lynn, Terri, Barb and Carol for your continued prayers to keep me focused on Him. When I grow weary and get discouraged, I just have to drop you a note to stand in the gap for me – so thank you…
When I started blogging over two years ago, I never thought that the readership of this Blog would grow to where it is today. I thank God that He has given me the opportunity to share with you my walk with Him.
My walk is not perfect—I fail often. I am not the most eloquent writer either. But you, my beloved readers, don’t mind. You come back to read what I have to share. I know that some of you have never commented; probably never will. That is okay – I know you are reading. That is such a blessing to me—it keeps me going.
What can I say about Thankful Thursday? Oh.my.goodness!!!! It has grown so much over the last four month—not in my wildest dreams did I imagine it would do just that. Not only is our number growing, but because of Thankful Thursday and what you have made it, Sting my Heart was “In the Spotlight†last week at Magical Garden.
I do know that Sting my Heart will never be in the top ten for “Religious Blogsâ€, but I have the #1 readership! BTW – did you know that the top spots of “Religious Blogs†in Bloggyville are not followers of Christ, but the total opposite? I didn’t know that Atheism is a religion. But then again, what do I know 😉 .
I know that many in Bloggyville do not agree with the message I am sharing on the WWW, but that is okay. I do pray that someone who is searching for the truth about Christ will be encouraged through Sting my Heart. I pray that God will give them the desire to pick-up the Bible to learn that Christ is the Only Way and the message of the Cross is not foolish:
- “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.†~ John 14:6 (ESV)
- “For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.†~ 1 Corinthians 1:22-25 (ESV)
